Personally I think some of the stuff being sold there was > stolen. I'd say they're over-rated. Admission has gone up, quality has gone down. Good deals can still be found, if you're looking hard enough. Usually if I'm looking for something that every vendor has, and there will be no shortage, I go on Sun afternoon in the last few hours. Usually you can argue with the vendors to come down to decent prices on their stuff, especilly if they have an overstock of it. Back when floppy disks cost a lot, I got a killer deal on a big box of floppies. Curious, I looked at them when I got home. I found everything from software installation to data (including financial data) on the disks. They hadn't even attempted to format them. Either the people in the chain were clueless or criminals, I'm not sure. -Brian _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
